• Delete. Not a website, but seems to be a phenomenon where websites make a loop of Error 404 messages. I don't know why, but I'll leave that part to them and the deleting to us. _-M ^o P-_ 04:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

  • If by "information" you mean a wikilink to the Zangelding page, then yes. Otherwise, no he/she didn't. - DavidWBrooks 13:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. This was a self-referential meme where people linked to each other's Zangelding pages, and also intentionally came up with a lot of bogus links (e.g., "President of the United States shows his support to the Zangelding movement"). It was more fun if you read the URLs and link descriptions. I really don't think this got much force behind it, though, or got as much weight to it as some more well-known memes. Even I took my Zangelding page down some time ago. =) As for WP:MEMES, this can't be said to have influenced other memes, created copycats, or been much original ("Link to each other's bogus pages", bah, that happens every day), nor can I remember seeing media mentions. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
